Default rim size for rears??

Hey guys need help with figuring out a rear rim size.

Got a stock length 8.8 with mini tubs, and the springs moved in boars. Also have the lower control arms off set to give more clearance for the tires, was thinking about a 15" by 10" rim but wasnt sure if it would fit/offset on it.

Just seeing if anyone is running something along these lines

Seems like a buddy said he was was running a 10.5" rim on a stock fox without tubs. May have been 10s. Whichever it was, he said it was the largest that would fit......Reason I know is he tried to sell them to me the other day.

yes but you will have to cut about an inch off the front of your lower front wheel well area on the body, team z told me in order to run a 29x10.5 i had to pie cut an inch off the front and back to accommodate for growth
